According to a new study published by Ponemon Institute, based on
interviews of over 500 North American IT security professionals, a
resounding majority of workers admit that their companies are still
plagued by problems related to spyware.

Some 47 percent of respondents to the survey indicated that their
companies are incapable of removing spyware from their networks once
attacked, with 35 percent saying their employers cannot prevent many
spyware infections in the first place.
